I’m glad it was Kakyoin to deal with Death 13! I was concerned he’d have been knocked out and unable to fight back meaning the others would have to fight him. In fact, I had thought Jotaro did have a trump card in Star Platinum however, it was a dummy and it tricked me too! Instead, Kakyoin got his stand out before sleeping, possibly even when he was knocked out, and as described, just like a belonging, his spirit is in the world too! Kakyoin don’t need anybody to cover for him… he’s got this!!! And, I guess he did need some time to shine.
In the words of Araragi:There stood a highschool boy who had seriously taken on a grade-school girl baby, seriously fought her, seriously won with a judo throw, and seriously felt proud of himself! Wait, that’s me.
